To go along with the previously announced Nerf N-Strike Barricade RV-10 Special Edition Transformers Bumblebee Blaster, USA Today has revealed another exclusive from Hasbro for the upcoming NYCC, a pair of Transformers themed Cuponk electronic cups.

•Hasbro introduced the trick-shot game Cuponk last year, and they're giving it a Transformers spin with a special retro edition featuring special electronic cups with Megatron and Optimus Prime and balls adorned with Autobot and Decepticon artwork.

•An Optimus Prime-themed NERF blaster was introduced at Comic-Con in San Diego this summer, and New York Comic-Con gets its own exclusive, Bumblebee-flavored NERF N-Strike Barricade RV-10 Blaster with detailing featuring the beloved Autobot character.

And for those who can't make it to New York Comic-Con, Hasbro is making a limited quantity of the exclusives available online after the show at HasbroToyShop.com the week of Oct. 17.

Nice. I'd collect those for the nostalgia and then use 'em for drinking from. Not sure what cuponk is though.

Even as a big WWE fan, the thought of Magatron wearing a championship belt sickens me. What in the blue hell is Cuponk ???

You wouldn't be able to actually drink out of these, they're not actually those kind of cups.

Cuponk is Beer Pong without the beer.

Seriously, go look up the commercials for it on the internet.

This looks nice but I was more interested in the Nerf blaster, until I saw a better one at retail. I think it's a take off of the Dart Tag blaster.

Would've loved to have seen them use a Vortex blaster instead.
